I'm not screwing around: this story is really, really awful. According to California law enforcement officials, Ryan Alexander Jenkins, 32, is considered a "person of interest" in the brutal murder of his wife, Jasmine Fiore. Fiore, 28, a Playboy representative was found dead and stuffed in a suitcase in Orange County, California. The sometime model's naked body was first discovered Saturday morning in a trash bin at Beuna Park. She was first reported missing by Jenkins the night she was discovered. Since then officials have not been able to contact him, and they fear he may have fled to Canada in Fiore's Mercedes. Jenkins, who can currently be seen competing for the affection of Megan Hausserman on the Vh1 reality show "Megan Wants a Millionaire", married Fiore only two days after getting booted from the television show.Friends of Fiore say that the couple had a tumultous relationship and were on the verge of divorce. In fact, one close pal claims that she was headed to Vegas that night to reconnect with an old flame. In addtion the woman who was the roommate of Fiore and Jenkins tells TMZ that Jenkins told her last Sunday -- the day after Jasmine's body was discovered -- he was "done with the relationship," that "he couldn't take it anymore" and he was going to Vegas.I think it goes without saying that if anyone spies this scumbag, contact your local authorities. Tragic. Such a young, beautiful girl.UPDATE 1: VH1 has just announced that they will NOT be airing future episodes of "Megan Wants a Millionaire". Here is their official statement:"Ryan Jenkins was a contestant on Megan Wants A Millionaire, an outside production, produced and owned by 51 Minds, that is licensed to VH1. The show completed production at the end of March. Given the unfortunate circumstances, VH1 has postponed any future airings. This is a tragic situation and our thoughts go out to the victim’s family."UPDATE 2: Sources at Vh1 are also claiming that Jenkins was not only a cast member in the third enstallment of "I Love Money", but that he actually wound up winning the whole thing. Due to his large role in the show, employees at the network remain doubtful that "ILM3" will ever see the light of day.UPDATE 3: Not only are police saying that Jenkins was the last person seen with the victim, they also released info that the reality show contestant has a history of violence. According to People.com, Jenkins is due in court on Dec. 18 for a misdemeanor charge of "battery constituting domestic violence" against his wife stemming from an April incident in Las Vegas. At the time of the assault Jenkins was arrested and charged with allegedly striking Fiore "in the arm with his fist." The Herald also reports that in January 2007 Jenkins received a conditional discharge and 15 months probation for a July 2005 assault of a woman in Calgary. Court documents reveals that he was ordered to undergo psychological counseling for domestic violence and attend outpatient treatment for sex addiction. A publicist for Jenkins reportedly told TMZ that Jenkins intended to consult with his attorney and cooperate with police, and is "is planning on meeting with them in the near future." However authorities insist that he has not been in contact with anyone and that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have joined the search. Again Jenkins is either driving Fiore's white Mercedes CLS550, with custom black trim including a black logo, or Jenkins's own black BMW X5, so if any of you Canadians out there happen to see it, contact your local authorities.source
